Metrosideros Wee Willie Winkie

5 from 1 customers

Metrosideros Wee Willie Winkie is a small variety of Pohutukawa and grown for its compact form and attractive foliage. The impressive foliage is variegated with cream and green and becomes adorned with white flowers during summer. While it is often grown as a shrub, it will begin to climb if it has something it can cling onto. Metrosideros Wee Willie Winkie is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, adding to a mixed or border planting, or mass planting for a wonderful display. It also suits being maintained in a container or planting around outdoor living areas.
